Overview

The Traxxas Slash XL-5 is the perfect combination of durability, performance, and value, making it a fantastic entry into short course RC fun. This 1/10 scale 2WD electric truck is built to withstand the rigours of off-road driving, thanks to its rugged composite chassis, factory-installed extreme heavy-duty components, and waterproof electronics. The powerful Titan 12T 550 motor and XL-5 ESC deliver reliable performance and speeds of over 48 km/h (30+ mph), while the long-travel suspension and grippy all-terrain tyres provide great handling on any surface. It's a tough, fast, and fun truck that's ready for any adventure.

The Slash XL-5 is also incredibly easy to use, making it a great choice for beginners. The included TQ 2.4GHz radio system offers precise, long-range control, and the patented Training Mode limits the throttle to 50%, allowing new drivers to learn safely. This ready-to-run package includes a 7-cell 3000mAh Traxxas NiMH battery and a 4-amp USB-C fast charger, so you can start driving right away. The brushless-ready transmission and clipless body mounting system make it easy to maintain and upgrade, ensuring this is a truck that can grow with your skills for years to come.
